Real estate vs. Bitcoin

[proTECH77]

During the lockdown many estate loose value because of the corona virus that is spreading over the world.many people are crying because of the hardship that is increasing everyday no money money to pay bill and other things.

I prefer to invest with bitcoin than estate because during the pandemic those that invest with bitcoin never cry of hardship,even when the lockdown reduce other cryptocurrencies value is own value was okay to the investors.

If somebody has only few thousand dollar then real estate would not be an option because you require a lot of money while investing in real estate and in bitcoin you can even invest few hundred dollars and can exit on booking your profits any times. real estate is fine when you have to stay in the house but just for investing, I will choose bitcoin over real estate due to various reasons.

In my country, many people can invest in property under the sharia system. Indeed, the target of this program is for the lower middle class because the property prices offered are between USD 20,000 - USD 70,000, there is an easy down payment, easy installment payments of up to 15 years, no interest, no late fees and no foreclosure when default. Even if after several periods we fail to pay in installments for some reason, the developer will return the money we have paid, only the usual administration deduction of around USD 100.

in my Subdivision ,there are houses that for sale now just because of they cannot pay the mortgage monthly because of pandemic,and not only that but the price is really low compared to what the value in normal days.

You are wrong,it is better to invest in real estate now because the value is decreasing for now meaning in the next 5-10 years we will surely make a profit when the world recovers from this deep economy.

Because of the pandemic outbreak, there are a lot of people affected on does not have any kind of job and one of the affected right here is the owners of the real state some of them sell their property in to a lower price because we do not know when is the time will the COVID will go. If you are already affected on this outbreak there is no sources of other income there is no choice you need to give up your houses, and this time this is good for buying a lot of houses because the price drops immediately, if I have enough budget with that I will do the same.

The bitcoin does not really worry about because they are volatile if you want to choose between investing with the real state of bitcoin, I will rather choose the real state because the price of it increases every time a year will come bitcoin is just volatile, so there is a change every time well I want to have a secured long term investment.

Me too. If ever I had the adequate amount of money for engaging with real estates then I would be willing to do it. No hesitations at all. Coz why not? Because like what you've said, these hard times are the best time to buy one. You can save a lot by buying those properties that are sold in lower price.

Thanks to Xian Gaza . I'm sure you know who he is but despite of his bad credential records I idolize him when it comes to financing. He enlightened me more on the dos and don'ts when it comes to real estate.

Real estate is safe, but if the same isn't made on the right property the investor needs to bear big loss. With all forms of investment there is need for better analysis and risk. One needs to make a better planning and do the investment. Real estate investment requires big capital, which isn't affordable for all. With bitcoin the risk is high, but with any small denomination one can invest into it.

If somebody has only few thousand dollar then real estate would not be an option because you require a lot of money while investing in real estate and in bitcoin you can even invest few hundred dollars and can exit on booking your profits any times. real estate is fine when you have to stay in the house but just for investing, I will choose bitcoin over real estate due to various reasons.

Certainly, Real estate has a higher value and is harder to own because we have more responsibilities to them, such as paying taxes, completing complicated transfer procedures. The government recognizes real estate, while bitcoin is vague and accepted only in a few countries.
Of course, you can own bitcoins much easier than real estate, you can only need a few taps to own bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency you want.
But clearly, real estate is better for many reasons such as geographical, social, legal factors, so they have sustainable value.

I guess it depends on the real estate a bit as well. If you are going to buy another house and rent it and that is it, I would rather get bitcoin over that, having 10 houses makes no sense in my minds, if you want to have a house you live in, go do that and it makes sense, but if you buy 10 more just so you can get rent, it makes zero sense. Real estate should be for business and if you do not deal with it like a business deal than you will lose money on it eventually.

Buy a shop and rent it to someone, buy small gym place or whatever and rent it, hell even stadiums (the small 100 person capacity ones) are being sold, why not buy them, it is like 300-500k honestly and not more because technically it is a stadium but in reality 100 person capacity is nothing so they are cheap, and rent it to a team. All in all buy a real estate that you can rent to another business, not people.

I am already invested in real estate for a long time and thought about adding more money to my real estate fund during the corona pandemic, but prices are not falling at all here. Residential house prices are going even up during corona. And with interest rates so low I think it's not a good time to buy real estate at the moment. I would also not sell real estate at the moment, best is to just hold and enjoy any future price increase. There is much more upside potential in Bitcoins in my opinion.

Both things are good for investing, but there's still some difference in Real estate and Bitcoin.
Real estate is using for long term investment like you have to buy the property and hold them for more than 10 years, after that you'll get some profit.
While in bitcoin you can earn profit in just a short time of period. The main thing is there's high risk in the Real estate while in bitcoin there are fewer chances of getting scammed.

So you are living in a heaven? But most of the countries don't have such things, every middle class lose their life just paying interest throughout their entire life just for a house or an appartment.Real estate is always a good investment but this might be changed due to the modern internet world in my opinion, especially due to the work from home people can chose a rural place with much lower land value to build their home then they can lead better live than living in a busy city where land values or 10x or 100x higher.

circumstances vary by region (country and city)..  I live in the capital of a developing country and house price movements are not falling (only people's purchasing power has decreased during this "PANDEMIC").  In my country, real estate and land are investments that will not hurt because the density of the population in my city makes people's desire to buy a house very high.. 

If you are a wise investor then you will definitely choose to invest in both (Real estate & Bitcoin) because it would be foolish if you have a lot of Bitcoin but don't have a real estate..

I personally experienced in my life during the bull market of bitcoin during the year 2018. By the time I had few Bitcoins, but the greed and hope of bitcoin reaching much high value kept holding even when I received more suggestions of making an investment on property.

The value of my portfolio got declined, and slowly my holdings got washed away on gambling. If I've invested on property by that time. Now I could've got a better value for the property. As said in the quote, combined investment on bitcoin and real estate is good than completely relying on anything specific.

As far as real estate goes you have to do market research in your own area. The market will not look alike in the UK, Australia or Japan. Some countries aren't safe places to invest like if you live in Belarus I'd be careful with buying anything.

What foreign exchange rates are you talking about? Probably the Dollar that suffered a big loss in March with the start of the pandemic. It's always like that when some big changes are expected in a country. It will go back up after the election. That is if we don't get a stock market crash in the meantime.

I agree with pixie. Real estate is very different from one place to another. Even from one neighbourhood to another you will see huge differences. It is all a matter of , jobs, landscape, schools, hospitals, public transportation, crime, etc.

IMO real estate is good to "park" your money for a steady growth of capital through property appreciation and hopefully monthly cash-flow.

[lepbagong]

This is both a long term investment and is equally risky and obviously equally profitable. No real estate investment is going to happen quickly in a period of under 10 years is going to be on the rise. besides there are indeed extraordinary things, but it will definitely take a while and the situation can be unfavorable. not if you are looking for the wrong one because it could often be a flooded area and others where prices do not soar. if the area is good and complete, it can be several times the cost of goods, which is certainly more profitable than bitcoin when it comes to the value obtained. But bitcoin is not too risky in comparison because real estate exists in the form of things.

So you are living in a heaven? But most of the countries don't have such things, every middle class lose their life just paying interest throughout their entire life just for a house or an appartment.

I think that in many countries with a large Muslim population, there are programs like this but not many people know about it. Because in Muslim teachings, everything related to borrowing and lending with interest is prohibited by religion and is a grave sin. Along with the increasing religious awareness of Muslims and along with the increasing population of Muslims around the world, semi-Islamic banking and full Islamic banking are growing.

Real estate is always a good investment but this might be changed due to the modern internet world in my opinion, especially due to the work from home people can chose a rural place with much lower land value to build their home then they can lead better live than living in a busy city where land values or 10x or 100x higher.

I assume if there are many people who think the same as you, then over time property prices in the countryside will increase and there will be equitable growth and development between villages and cities, but on the other hand, with the development in villages, villages will eventually become cities.

Some Muslim countries even doesn't follow the sharia law they have the traditional lending system so people are paying more interest rates even in this pandemic some of the countries didn't give any exception to the loan.

If economic inequality tends to be lower the life style of middle class people will change a lot.

Bitcoin is gonna take the crown from the real estate investments as there can't be any other investment than cryptocurrencies that can give you such returns in a matter of 10 years only and most of the times real estate takes more than 10 years to get to double price. Also people used to say bitcoin is a risky investment and is used by the black markets which isn't the case anymore where even institutions are also investing in it now.

What do you mean by that is it? Lol, what else do you expect? You can rent/lease a house and then you start getting passive earnings. A guaranteed source of income to be precise. Not to mention, the value of house property also appreciates over time. Where as if you invest on bitcoin, there isn't a guarantee that you will be earning profits every month. True the value of bitcoin will rise in the long run, but what if you need money unexpectedly? You can liquidate it, but what if the value dropped? You will be making loss.

[Johnyz]

We have so much condos in my place, so many real estate and some of those are not fully consumed by the market but since the emerge of Chinese companies and people in my country in looks like real estate are booming again, but I can’t tell this yet. Bitcoin on the other hand works worldwide, and this is good because we all have a general indicator for bitcoin unlike on the real estate. They both good investment but I’ll go for bitcoin since I can liquidate it easily at anytime.

[Shasha80]

Actually both real estate and Bitcoin are very good assets for investment, especially for those who have a lot of money.
I recommend investing in both, but since not everyone has a lot of money, but still wants to buy assets. I prefer to buy
Bitcoin, because for now you have to have a minimum capital of $ 11,000 to be able to invest in real estate, and not
everyone has that kind of money. In contrast to Bitcoin which can be purchased for only $ 10, this makes Bitcoin more
likely to be bought by everyone.
